VCLAVIS includes comprehensive support modeling for both horizontal and vertical pressure vessels. Engineers can perform detailed stability analysis, assessing local load interactions on the pressure body as well as the strength and durability of the supporting steel structures. All evaluations are grounded in established code formulas and recognized pressure vessel design manuals.
Verify saddle on cylindrical shell components, with dedicated calculations per Code. Additionally verify the saddle construction based on Denis R. Moss “Pressure Vessel Design Manual”, taking into account all aspects of design, including corroded support cases.
Verify the skirt to head junctions or the skirt to shell junctions, as set out in EN13445 / AD2000 codes, with direct implementation on all other codes where no references are provided. Verify skirt openings and skirt [...]
Verify the bracket or a support ring to shell interaction, as set out in AD2000 code (which uses WRC analysis), with direct implementation on all other codes where no references are provided. Consider bracket with multiple ribs [...]
Verify legs on shell or legs on heads, as set out in AD2000 code, with direct implementation on all other codes where no references are provided. Evaluate leg base plates based on Denis R. Moss “Pressure Vessel [...]
Verify lifting using Lugs, evaluating the local loads interaction as set out in various Codes. Calculate lug loads for various lifting scenarios (i.e lifting of the entire construction with four lifting lugs and single hook). Evaluate shackles [...]
Verity tailing lugs on skirt, incorporating Denis R. Moss “Pressure Vessel Design Manual” procedures for assessing the skirt base rings with or without tailing beams.
Design a vessel with platforms, ladders, packing, fireproofing, trays and insulation. Differentiate the load implementation for dedicated custom load scenarios or use the Codes automated load scenarios.
